The wordmasters who compiled my dictionary define Intellect as "a. the power 
of knowing as distinguished from the power to feel and to will; the capacity 
for knowledge. b. the capacity for rational or intelligent thought, esp. 
when highly developed."  (I must admit to having "intelligence" in mind when 
I defined intellect.  Chalk it up as too much exposure to the MoQ level ;-)

Why not simply call it "the contents of thought"?

Thanks for all your definitive efforts.
